arkansas13, thanks for watching! 🙂👍

eSPeeScotty, it is pretty easy. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍

James Chris Beck, without good help, crane operators are nothing. It takes a team to do what I do. So, I can't take all the credit. Thanks again for watching!

absolutely agree. Teamwork is everything.

James Chris Beck, many thanks for subscribing and watching! I'll do my best to be kind. Not sure I can pull classy off though. 😉 lol

ok I will take whatever I can get.... (heehee)

James Chris Beck

Elite Earthworks LLC, it's pretty easy to change. A quick reeve block helps a lot. I'll probably make another video of that process with more narration. We were in a hurry when I did this one. It also happens to be my shortest video. Lol. Thanks for watching!

To The Top Crane ahh that happens sometimes, quick easy videos. But it counts lol

Wayne Tharp, thank you! It shouldn't take me too long to get a desk built and my computer stuff moved. I'm allotting 3-4 days just in case Murphy's Law hits for some reason. Thanks for watching! 🙂

To The Top Crane Have a great weekend and enjoy yourself doing the project. If you are like me? You will need to add 1 day just to recover after project! Gonna be alot of trips up n down the stairs I assume. Just don't over do it on our account. Please...😀

John Warren, thank you! It was awfully easy to edit too. Thanks for watching. 🙂

To The Top Crane I don't miss a one along with your livestreams

John Warren, thank you!

Lesterntomson !, I'll do a video at some point that covers all the safety stuff. I'll make sure I get the ATB in it. Thanks for watching! 🙂

thanks James I mean Jimmy lol

Wayne Tharp, it was in a hole. Thanks for watching! 🙂

Duncan MacKenzie, it's not too bad. We try to keep the twist out on each pass. Then we don't have to worry about it.

Thanks for the reply.

James Bergeron, that is so it can be picked up. Also, it can be used for single line that way. Next time we have the big block on, I'll get some footage of reeving it. Thanks for watching! 🙂

i kind of figured that i could have been for picking it up but i didnt know that it could be used for a single line that way thats pretty cool

Patrick Seiber, the clicking is just an indicator telling me that the winch is turning. It does give some indication of how much line is moving in or out. Usually each click is between 1/4 and 1 inch. It's dependent on how many parts of line are reeved through the block. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍

Ron's Practical Tutorial, if you watch it closely, they are evenly spaced. The sheaves used for six parts are 2,4,6. There are seven sheaves in the top block (end of the boom). Thanks for watching! 🙂👍

Ron's Practical Tutorial, the complete process is....rope over the top right sheave (as viewed from the operators seat) down on the front side of sheave number 2 on the top block, around sheave 1 on the bottom block, up over sheave number 4 on the top block, around sheave number 2 on the bottom block, up over sheave number 6 on the top block, around number 3 on the bottom block, up to the lug on the boom on the far left side (as viewed from the operators seat).

Alex Williamson'sadventures, it's an animation of a cartoonish crane that I have for my logo. The engine sound is just a sound effect that I got from KZfaq's creator studio.

I had the same thought. Sounded like a hit or miss that wasn't missing much

Blazer02LS, lol! I suppose you could. Thanks for watching!

+Rambozo Clown, this crane has "buttons" on the end that lock into a piece that pins to the boom, block or ball. It is much faster than breaking down a beckett and reeving. The drawback to a button though, if the rope gets damaged, it is much more difficult and expensive to repair. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍

To The Top Crane I was getting and Error 503 this afternoon. I could see my comment but no others. Appears to be fixed...

Wayne Tharp, I had the same issue.

To The Top Crane Some crane operator probably knocked the satellite dish off when installing new roof top ac unit at the you tube world headquarters today! lol

Wayne Tharp, dang those crane operators! 😡 lol

Ken Gamble, I do. Anytime I have a single line, I am using the pill (ball). There are no sheaves in it. Thanks for watching! 🙂

To The Top Crane Thanks !

@@ToTheTopCrane This is interesting, ive never worked on a crane that had a block, all just had a ball. They were all about the same though, one National 22ton and two different pioneer 24ton.

@@alexmatthews2332, we have a ball, and two different sized blocks for the Tadano 180. We have to use the big block if we are picking over 97,000 lbs. Thanks for watching! 🙂👍

Denny Skerb, we do have riggers. They aren't on all of our jobs. Sometimes the customer has their own. Thanks for watching! 🙂

Doug Smith, thanks for watching! 🙂👍

+Peter Haan, I know that wire rope. There are no burrs or frays in it. Otherwise there definitely would've been gloves involved. Thanks for watching! 🙂

+Jimmy's Tractor, it is 21.8 mm wire rope.

To The Top Crane yeah, I think mine is 21.9

Jennifer Murtha-Stevens, I'll give you a call in a little bit.

johnsaw1983, I know that rope as well as I know my own kids. Lol There are no burrs or bad spots in it. I am also not aware of a law that states that gloves are mandatory. Maybe in other countries. But, I am not aware of one in the US.

G4 Outdoors, I know that cable better than I know my own kids. We inspect it everytime we reeve the block. There are no burrs on it. Thanks for watching out for me. 🙂

Alright, don't come crying to me, "hey, you remember that comment you left on my video"? NOPE, don't want to hear it. I guess if there was a burr, gloves wouldn't care anyway. Stay cool out there today Bra!
